Chapter 224 8 Trigrams 64 Heavenly Strike, Naruto pounces.
"Impossible! I've sealed all sixty-four of your pressure points. How could you possibly stand up under these circumstances?" Neji blurted out as he watched Naruto get up again.
The next instant, his eyes narrowed, seeing right through Naruto's entire body, then his expression changed drastically, "That kind of chakra? How is this possible??"
At the same time, [You stinky fox, lend me your chakra!]
Naruto shouted in his heart, urging the Nine-Tails' chakra to flow out of the seal and spread throughout his body. The sealed pressure points were violently broken open by this power, and in the blink of an eye, a visible burst of fiery red chakra shot straight into the sky...
"This is!!" In the waiting area, Sasuke's expression changed slightly as he watched Naruto's transformation, his eyes turning into crimson three-tomoe Sharingan.
Naruto had previously unleashed this power in the Land of Waves and the Forest of Death. Although he didn't know what this power was, he was certain that Naruto was definitely not a simple loser.
"This power..." At the same time, Gaara, who was not far away, also looked at Naruto with surprise and uncertainty.
Is that guy the same kind of person as him?
[He's cheating! He's cheating! Neji, now let me see the results of your training over the past year.] Ishikawa stared intently at the two of them, his excitement palpable.
"Ha!!" Almost simultaneously, Naruto shouted, his body enveloped in Nine-Tails chakra, and he threw a punch at Neji.
"Although I don't know the details, I acknowledge that you're no longer a useless loser, Naruto." Neji quickly composed himself, adopting the Gentle Fist stance again with a sharp gaze. "So this time I won't hold back. Gentle Fist Technique: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Heavenly Strike..."
The next instant, just as Naruto lunged forward, the familiar Gentle Fist was unleashed once more. However, unlike the previous burst from his fingertips, this time both fists were clenched, and a visible flow of chakra swirled around their surfaces…
To everyone's astonishment, blue chakra fist shadows unleashed a rapid barrage of attacks like cannonballs, almost as fast as the Sixty-Four Palms technique, and in the blink of an eye, all the fists landed on Naruto.
"Ahhhh!" Naruto screamed again, feeling his pressure points being hit by a tremendous force. His body instantly curled up like a shrimp, and he felt as if his whole body was being torn apart, with unbearable pain.
With a loud crash, this time it left a long trench as it slammed heavily against the wall...
Instantly, everyone in the audience was stunned and dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events!
"A true Hyuga genius? Not only did he master the Sixty-Four Palms and independently research the secret technique of the main family, the Heavenly Rotation, but now he has even developed a new Gentle Fist! Hizashi, perhaps you really should be the head of the clan..." Hyuga Hiashi muttered in a low voice, his eyes bulging with veins.
This outburst left Xiaohuahuo speechless, her mouth agape in disbelief. She never imagined that her cousin from the branch family was so talented that her father doubted her and the main family.
He had previously suggested that she come and see his daughter's learning progress, but now it seems that her father has given up on this ridiculous idea!
Thinking about it, it makes sense; how could she possibly surpass such a super genius? At that moment, Hanabi deeply felt her older sister Hinata's inferiority complex and sense of powerlessness…
"As expected, you won, Neji." At the same moment, Lee couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile as he looked at the changes in the arena.
He had personally experienced that Gentle Fist. Although he didn't know why Naruto was able to stand up and unleash his chakra before, he would definitely not stand up again now.
This is the true strength of the genius Neji.
"With that kind of taijutsu, the only thing to do is try to avoid close combat with him. Hyuga Neji is indeed a formidable opponent!" In the waiting area, Sasuke closed his Sharingan and silently recalled the explosive speed just now.
He glanced at Naruto with regret and shook his head sadly.
Naruto's defeat was not unjustified against such an opponent!
Needless to say, the others quickly recovered and erupted in another round of noisy discussions and enthusiastic shouts...
Off the field, a voice cried out, "Damn it! How could this be? I still had my special move to use. But my body hurts so much, I can't move at all..."
Naruto, bruised and battered, his head bleeding, groaned in pain, but despite his many grievances, the pain in his body and the torn pressure points rendered him unable to fight.
"No, I haven't lost yet. Just a little more chakra, just a little more chakra and I can summon the toad boss for a desperate counterattack!" As if seeing Sasuke shake his head, Naruto gritted his teeth and rallied his spirits once again.
But the moment he made a movement, the excruciating pain made him grimace and convulse...
"Give up, Naruto." Suddenly, Neji strolled over and looked at Naruto, speaking slowly. "This move was originally prepared for Ishikawa. It's quite impressive that you've lasted this long! But a gap is a gap. If it were so easy to catch up, there wouldn't be such a thing as geniuses and mediocrities."
"Being defeated by a genius—that's the reality you have to accept. Similarly, I will be defeated by a ninja even more talented than me—that's my reality, and the cruel truth of this world!"
"If you don't want to feel this helplessness and pain again, then work hard to grow stronger! Abandon your naive and self-righteous ideas. This world is not a place where you can defeat enemies with just words. The only way to change your fate or protect your companions is through strength."
Neji stared at Naruto's continuous attacks, and thinking of his promise to Ishikawa, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Examiner, you can announce the results now!"
"Damn it, I haven't even admitted it yet... uh..." Naruto instinctively retorted loudly, but before he could finish speaking, Neji raised his hand and knocked him unconscious.
“A futile struggle is useless in the face of reality. It seems you still haven’t come to terms with reality, Naruto.” Neji lowered his right hand and said calmly, then turned his gaze to Ishikawa.
"Understood, Neji. But your performance really surprised me, well done!" Ishikawa arrived in an instant, praising him generously, quite satisfied with the outcome.
It was worth it for him to help Neji get a power-up and share his super strength techniques. This guy actually quietly came up with a Gentle Fist version of the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack. I'm impressed!
"I hereby announce the winner of the first round: Hyuga Neji." Ishikawa slowly turned around and shouted the result to the audience.
In an instant, enthusiastic applause erupted from all sides of the audience, expressing their strong approval of this exciting battle.
"Make way, make way..." Almost the next second after Ishikawa announced the end, the medical team ninjas ran over with a stretcher and carried Naruto away.
[This is troublesome. I wonder if Naruto will be able to stand up and fight the battle later. But with the Nine-Tails' power-up and the protagonist's halo, Naruto should be able to unleash his power at the crucial moment.] Watching Naruto being carried away, Ishikawa sighed inwardly and then turned around.
"Neji, congratulations!"
With his current strength and mature understanding that surpasses that of a genin, Neji's promotion to chunin this time should be a sure thing.
"Congratulations?" Neji asked suspiciously, but still nodded solemnly to Ishikawa. "Ishikawa, I can now be your support! If I have the chance, I would actually prefer to fight you."
Ishikawa...
